Friend of mine is off there next Feb, hoping to shoot the aurora. Doesn't want to pack a heavy tripod. Anyone know if you can hire such a thing out there?
 
This guy is a serious landscape photographer in Iceland: Iurie Belegurschi

Purely by chance, on his Facebook page *today* he said "If you need to rent a camera or lenses in Iceland check Nýherji - Leiga". I know nothing about them, but if they don't do what you want then they might know somebody who does.

That's great, Stewart. I'll follow it up soon as. Ta muchly!
 
It doesn't have to be that heavy a tripod, but he should really accept that he needs to pack one if he is serious about shooting the aurora.
If you can hire one in Iceland it probably wont be cheap.
 
Thanks for that link, Stewart, We're alos thinking (? dreaming!) of a trip to Iceland and the weight of a tripod would be far better used for thermals and other appropriate clothing! I do have a lightweight CF (Vitruvian) tripe but I reckon my new toy (a Manfrotto 410 geared head) would be better than any of my ball heads for perfect framing and levelling. Could just pack the head and leave the tripe at home if hire was a genuine and affordable option.

Jon, wish your friend happy Holidays from a completely random stranger!

Nod.
